President Trump plans<\/a> to roll back some tariffs on metals, including on steel and aluminum goods, as he and his administration seek to battle an affordability crisis ahead of the midterm elections.<\/p>\n

The move comes after he faced a rare rebuke over his tariff regime<\/a>, as members of his own party crossed lines to vote to scrap Trump’s duties on Canada.<\/p>\n

Six Republicans in the House of Representatives joined with nearly every Democrat to pass Joint Resolution 72<\/a>, which seeks to terminate a national emergency that Trump declared last February<\/a> imposing tariffs on Canada. That came even as Trump openly threatened lawmakers who crossed him<\/a>, writing that Republicans who oppose tariffs “will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time.”<\/p>\n

But Trump himself appears to be worried about the consequences, as The Financial Times reported that the current 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum could soon see carveouts in a similar manner to Trump’s reductions on certain food imports last year.<\/p>\n

Trump has, however, kept up his threats in recent weeks, part of a recent blitz aimed at allies that rivals his bluster from early in his second term.<\/p>\n

Trump threatened to hit Canada’s aircraft imports with a 50% tariff<\/a> and said the US would also decertify all new jets from the likes of Bombardier (BDRBF<\/a>), claiming Canada has used certification hurdles to effectively ban the sale of US Gulfstream jets. He also threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Canada<\/a> over that nation’s trade deal with China.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mexico is facing the possibility of levies after Trump promised to impose new tariffs on countries providing oil to Cuba<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, confusion has emerged over the trade deal between the US and India after the White House adjusted language around agricultural goods. In the updated statement, the US has now removed<\/a> a reference to pulses, a staple food in India.<\/p>\n
